From 19b482c29b6f3805f1d8e93015847b89e2f7f3b1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Muchun Song songmuchun@bytedance.com Date: Tue, 22 Mar 2022 14:42:05 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm: shmem: fix missing cache flush in shmem_mfill_atomic_pte()
userfaultfd calls shmem_mfill_atomic_pte() which does not do any cache flushing for the target page. Then the target page will be mapped to the user space with a different address (user address), which might have an alias issue with the kernel address used to copy the data from the user to. Insert flush_dcache_page() in non-zero-page case. And replace clear_highpage() with clear_user_highpage() which already considers the cache maintenance.
